Horizontal Scroll.

Horizontal Scroll.

I've scrolling horizontally through 2hrs and 15 minutes of audio looking for bird calls. At the moment I'm using shift+mouse wheel but it's not long before my fingers get tired (at which point I turn the mouse over and roll it along the desk).

Is there an easier way than this? something like holding down a forwards arrow or something less mechanical than having to constantly rotate the mouse wheel.

If there is some visual characteristic of the bird songs that makes
them stand out, you could use ctrl-3 to zoom out until you can see a
lot of audio in order to pick them out. Then click in them to put the
focus point there, and use ctrl-1 to zoom in so you can work with them.

Re: Horizontal Scroll.

Provided there is no playback, you can user RIGHT or LEFT arrow
to move the position of the editing cursor by one pixel at a time (or
somewhat faster if you hold the key down). When the cursor reaches
the visible edge of the project window, the track will scroll.
